Sigmund, <There's Gold In Them-Thar Hills (Of Manure)> I am glad to see some creative headlines such as this. Attention grabbers are what is needed to stir interest in this company and its related sector. Yes... some firm licensing news is what is needed in here. Livestock excrement remediation is a very, very good one in my opinion. I'll tell you why. While acting as president of a lakeland homeowners association many years ago, I was also nominated/ (conived) into accepting a position as president pro-tem of the very first consortial lake-district in that particular state. Anyway our intended objective was to create a lake preservation/taxable geographic land base.... which included a few thousand acres of agricultural land in that concentric watershed. That agricultural land contained a small area where some dairy cows and horses could venture down to one of the two lakes (that totalled aggregately about 700 acres). When we received our first impact research report (that we commissioned) to assess what came into the lakes... I was astonished at the annual tonnage of cow and horse excrement that reportedly found its way into the main body of water. I mean tons!! So I can very well imagine that U.S. Microbics Sol Tech subsidiary could very well clean-up in that particular area of excrement conversion. Our solution to that problem was to pay for an electronic-wired fence that kept the cows and horses from venturing down to the lake and depositing raw excrement (nitrogen) into the water. Of course there was still a substantial amount of residual run-off from rain which carried some excrement in and I believe that was remedied by various perimeter ditches and land recontouring . Perhaps bio-remediation would have been a more logical solution. Today that lake district is still in existence and has an annual budget of some $230,000 dollars (derived from taxes) which is used to clean up the water and the watershed, etc. That is only one small 700 acre combined body of water and imagine how many other areas through out the country have similar problems... which could benefit from bio-augmentation. The livestock approach is great and if it catches on I think U.S. Microbics; Sol Tech subsidiary may become knee deep in something other than doo-doo.
